He continued, "At the same time, they were announcing that they are closing down their social media and their website and taking a break for the next few months.

"I think it has really taken everyone by surprise.

Since stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family Harry and Meghan have disabled comments on their official Sussex Royal Instagram account.

It seems it could be a while before Harry and Meghan properly reintroduce themselves outside of royal life.

However, one of Meghan Markle's previous projects was recently released opening up a new chapter for the couple.

Disneynature documentary Elephant, narrated by the Duchess of Sussex, was released last Friday.

However, her real reason for taking the role may be surprising.

Meghan Markle was inspired to narrate the Disney’s documentary Elephant because she was “intrigued by the female empowerment” of the animals, according to filmmakers.

Speaking to People, Elephant filmmaker Vanessa Berlowitz explained that the Duchess of Sussex was inspired after learning about the role of female elephants in a herd during her visit to Botswana with Prince Harry back in 2017.

During their time in Botswana, the couple worked with wildlife organisation Elephants Without Borders (EWB).

According to Berlowitz, she and co-filmmaker Mark Linfield explained to Meghan the importance of "matriarchal leadership" among elephants.
